Clarification of Reporting Requirements, 44160-44161 [2015-18113]

Download as PDF 44160 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 142 / Friday, July 24, 2015 / Notices environmental assessment. The exemption from the requirement to have an STA in place is eligible for categorical exclusion under 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(vi)(H), which provides that exemptions from surety, insurance, or indemnification requirements are categorically excluded if the exemption would not result in any significant hazards consideration; change or increase in the amount of any offsite effluents; increase in individual or cumulative public or occupational radiation exposure; construction impacts; or increase in the potential for or consequence from radiological accidents. The NRC staff finds that the STA exemption involves surety, insurance and/or indemnity requirements and that granting Lost Creek this temporary exemption from the requirement of establishing a standby trust arrangement would not result in any significant hazards or increases in offsite effluents, radiation exposure, construction impacts, or potential radiological accidents. Therefore, an environmental assessment is not required. IV. Conclusions asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Accordingly, the NRC has determined that, pursuant to 10 CFR 40.14(a), the proposed temporary exemption is authorized by law, will not present an undue risk to the public health and safety, is consistent with the common defense and security, and is in the public interest. NRC hereby grants Lost Creek ISR, LLC an exemption from the requirement in 10 CFR part 40, Appendix A, Criterion 9 to set up a standby trust to receive funds in the event the NRC or the State regulatory agency exercises is right to collect the surety. This exemption will expire on February 10, 2015, for the Lost Creek ISR Project. At that time, Lost Creek will be required to ensure compliance with the STA requirements.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Questions should be sent to The ReaganUdall Foundation for the FDA, 202– 828–1205, PredicTox@ReaganUdall.org. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background The Reagan-Udall Foundation for the FDA (the Foundation) is an independent 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization created by Congress to advance the mission of FDA to modernize medical, veterinary, food, food ingredient, and cosmetic product development; accelerate innovation; and enhance product safety. The Foundation acts as a neutral third party to establish novel, scientific collaborations. With the ultimate goal of improving public health, the Foundation provides a unique opportunity for different sectors (FDA, patient groups, academia, other government entities, and industry) to work together in a transparent way to create exciting new research projects to advance regulatory science. PredicTox is a public-private partnership led by the Foundation, which brings together multiple stakeholder groups to leverage collective knowledge, technical expertise, data, funding, and other resources to explore systems pharmacology approaches to better understand and predict adverse events (AEs). Developing new tools and approaches for mechanism-based drug safety assessment and prediction is a priority for the FDA, as highlighted in the Agency’s 2011 Strategic Plan for Advancing Regulatory Science. This project aims to harness scientific and technological knowledge, data and computational capacity across various sectors and disciplines to develop and apply systems-based approaches and multi-scales models to drug safety assessment in a coordinated manner. While systems-based approaches can be applied to the development of predictive models for any class of drug or AE, the PredicTox pilot seeks to first provide a proof of concept pilot by focusing on large and small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and cardiac AEs, specifically left ventricular dysfunction. TKIs are a rapidly growing treatment for oncology and select other therapeutic areas, making them an area of intense importance for patients, the FDA, and pharmaceutical manufacturers. Learnings from the PredicTox pilot will then be applied to PO 00000 Frm 00143 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 44161 other drug classes and/or other toxicities. The primary objective of PredicTox is to advance systems-based science and tools necessary to support mechanismbased drug safety assessment and prediction. To accomplish this objective, the PredicTox pilot project will be conducted in an iterative, phased manner over the course of several years. The first phase will center on building and populating a knowledge management platform for molecular data, preclinical in vivo pharmacologic and toxicologic data as well as clinical data from both public and private sources. The PredicTox platform will enable integration, mining, and analysis of highly heterogeneous data not typically combined. Future phases of the project will focus on data mining and development of analytic and visualization tools along with development of multi-scale predictive models capable of linking events at the molecular level with events at the clinical level (AEs) for improved safety assessment. For additional project information, see the Reagan-Udall Foundation Web site. II. PredicTox Steering Committee Roles and Responsibilities The PredicTox Steering Committee will provide guidance on the operation of PredicTox, in conjunction with the RUF Board, project staff, and others. The Steering Committee will provide overall programmatic oversight to ensure a focus on the long-term vision of the project, while the Scientific Advisory Committee will provide highly specialized technical expertise. The PredicTox Steering Committee will be charged with several responsibilities, including: • Reviewing and approving the PredicTox Charter • Monitoring adherence to the PredicTox mission and operational principles in the Charter • Developing metrics and evaluating the project at various milestones • Reviewing and approving the PredicTox Research Agenda • Reviewing proposals and contracts submitted to the project The PredicTox Steering Committee Chair must be able to complete additional responsibilities, including: • Defining the Steering Committee’s meeting agendas and facilitating those meetings • Recommending for termination, as necessary, any PredicTox Steering Committee members demonstrating dereliction of duties as specified in the PredicTox Charter E:\FR\FM\24JYN1.SGM 24JYN1
